Agree with everything you said...my concern is defensive emphasis.

Very seldom does a defensively minded coach build a balanced team. Even Lavell seemed to emphasize offensive strength over defensive strength most years. I see a lot of depth being built defensively. I'm just a little concerned that Ty won't get the athletes that he needs. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Is it OK to say that I'm concerned about the offense?

I feel just the same, mango! Hopefully we see strong improvement!

Detmer concerns me. He has proven nothing to this point

I thought about hoarding, but I don't think it will be that bad.

5/27/17 9:28pm

Thanks. I'm a little less anxious.

cdr88

5/29/17 5:23pm

For your consideration-- Kavika Fonua switched to offense

5/27/17 10:16pm

Thank you. I need the reassurance. I fear becoming Ewetish.

Legit worry. Bronco had unbalanced recruiting. Kalani is recruiting about 6

I think doubters like this deserve a lessor portion of the glory to revel in

Yes someone needs to start holding these "doubters" accountable!

5/27/17 12:00pm

I'm actually not concerned about the WYO game at all

Jericho

Agreed. Inflexibility and lack of creativity...

Fine, disagree, but you're wrong

There aren't that many Wisconsins and LSUs... and we aren't trying to be

That's because it hasn't been a huge focus

5/28/17 10:17am

Exactly right...

jomo

5/28/17 10:34am

I agree that the passing game wasn't very good

5/28/17 10:48am

The receivers *did* have issues, but you're right, Taysom was the main problem

jomo

5/28/17 11:01am

Curious, so for what style of play is our talent level conducive?

This is a stupid comment

hammergm

5/27/17 11:58am

I think it's a fair concern

5/27/17 12:03pm

No, it's ignorant to think Taysom got worse

Jericho

5/27/17 12:23pm

I love Taysom Hill

hammergm

5/27/17 1:39pm

Hill was much better under Anae

coolblue

5/28/17 7:43am

Did you want Hill hurt in the first, second, or third game?

Oh man.

Your comment is stupider

Detmer didn't have a QB to work with.

Y4LYFE

5/27/17 12:28pm

If only he had a senior qb who was previously in heisman conversation . . .

Heaps is also fighting for a roster spot.

Y4LYFE

5/27/17 3:36pm

2013 is not 2016

Y4LYFE

5/27/17 3:36pm

So you are saying that he got a lot worse? was it the injury, or the offense?

viper

5/27/17 4:36pm

He had the same two quarterbacks that Anae did, only more mature.

coolblue

5/28/17 7:45am

He proved he could replicate the results of an OC with 10 more years OC experience than he had

You're crazy... Detmer is the real deal (or "ril dil" if you're from Utah)

I am sorry, but you must not have seen what was happening on the field. Detmer

PhilPete

5/30/17 9:59am

Yeah, and the offense only really worked when he tweaked it to work for Taysom

Jericho

5/30/17 11:04am

How did Virginias Offense do this last year

Y2k

5/30/17 11:31am

But Ty couldn't sacrifice the development of the whole offense just to fit

Hoss Bonaventure

5/30/17 12:25pm

His offense wasn't much different from Anae in '13 or Doman in '11 ...

icecougar

5/30/17 8:29pm

It feels like we haven't had a really good offense in 8 years.

SuperTank

5/27/17 11:02am

I don't disagree, however...

lbmango

The D lost us plenty of games such as in 2014

It might feel that way, but 2013 had almost 1000 more yards than the 2009

5/30/17 9:03am

I think the offensive line will be good. Everything starts up front, Right?

5/27/17 11:02am

I am cautiously optimistic - Wait and see at this point

Dr T-bone

5/27/17 11:18am

Sure, until you listed losing Hill as a huge loss.

5/27/17 11:19am

I hope you're right. I'll rely on your faith for now.

lbmango

5/27/17 11:31am

Really though, what would naturally take a step back?

Byu_1988

5/27/17 12:47pm

JWill was a huge security blanket (and frankly Taysom's scrambling abilities)..

Machiavelli

5/27/17 1:00pm

This is primarily what I meant when I said we'll miss Taysom

lbmango

5/27/17 1:33pm

This is understated, I think.

Byu_1988

5/27/17 1:47pm

Mangum showed that ability very well as a freshman.

5/27/17 2:42pm

This is a good point..Mangum is actually pretty good at scrambling too

Machiavelli

5/27/17 6:00pm

The latter of which is overrated.

TheDeek

I hope the offense against PSU is very vanilla

lbmango

5/27/17 1:59pm

Vanilla, but firing on all cylinders

viper

5/27/17 2:36pm

You could write a book about this exact thing since 2009.

5/28/17 3:28am

Many people don't realize that only part of Detmer's offense was implemented

RebelScum

5/27/17 1:46pm

Can someone explain to me why Detmer's offense would only be partially implement

Machiavelli

5/27/17 1:50pm

There are a couple of dynamics to this. The first is implementing a new offense.

RebelScum

5/27/17 2:04pm

My primary concern with this theory is that there was no progression

StalwartBraveTrue

5/31/17 1:53am

It was all about the QB and % success....

jomo

5/31/17 2:25am

Great point. Here's hoping Tanner can be up to speed enough to make it work

StalwartBraveTrue

5/31/17 8:19am

ONe word: personnel

PhilPete

5/30/17 10:02am

Bull! With that, I hope Detmer matures into his roll.

coolblue

5/28/17 7:48am

There will come a time when Detmer, or someone else associated with the offense,

RebelScum

5/28/17 9:36am

I am too. Tanner needs to show he is an under center, pocket QB and can pick teams apart with reads.

5/27/17 1:57pm

I'm optimistic (like others) that Tanner will be fine. But I agree that he

dilbert

doups3

We had yards and points...but I'll trade it for wins

hammergm

Yes. We should be.

5/27/17 5:19pm

Why do you have a hard time seeing it happen?

Seasider

5/27/17 7:05pm

I don't think there's anything wrong with being concerned while holding out hope that it will work out.
